@gloria_novovic For air purifiers, anything "True HEPA," really. Amazon sells one under $100 (Renpho) that's quite adequate. Keep an eye on the price and availability of replacement filters for whatever you choose.

Occupiers are using the snow to their advantage as arrests begin. Limited thus far.

@katiegibbs I believe the answer is no – you need activated carbon.

@worldofabe Agreed, though feel like the key to not losing great candidates is mostly just to move faster. I know the system is clumsy, but a manager who prioritizes staffing and knows what they're doing can run these giant processes, with the help of their own team, in just a few months.

@katieszi @Bell_MTS Wifi repeaters are under $50, if you have a friendly neighbour and can pick up a signal anywhere there's an electrical outlet! Might find you don't need Bell at all. :)
